A new eggplant variety 'Sarada murasaki' is jointly released by Kanagawa Agricultural Technology Center and Sakata Seed Co. We compared its internal and physical quality with other eggplant cultivar, and investigated by maturing stage and harvest time. Sugar content of 'Sarada murasaki' was higher than 'Senryou nigou' and 'Sisui'. Skin and flesh firmness is softer than 'Senryo nigou'. Sugar content and flesh firmness of 'Sarada murasaki' was not influenced by growth stage. Total polyphenol content and flesh firmness of immature fruits was higher and harder than maturing fruits. Quality of 'Sarada murasaki' fruit was steady from August to October. We studied taste sensors for evaluating internal quality in eggplant. It suggests that it is one of the methods of quality evaluation of eggplant.
